Correct Answer: in


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

It expresses the situation of something that is or appears to be enclosed or surrounded by something else. "In" is the correct choice, as it conveys the sense of being deeply engaged or absorbed in a particular activity.

  • At: Used to indicate a particular point in time or the period in which an event occurs.

  • Into: Expressing movement or action results in someone or something becoming enclosed or surrounded by something else.

  • With: It suggests being in the company of someone or something.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "The man was absorbed in his work."
